Ramstein (ETAR/RMS) - 2008

[rook]

Hi all,

The departure from the SP A-10's, SP F-16's and the 6 FT A-10's is expect for tomorrow. The Edwards EC-135R is also due to depart tomorrow.
Also a Alabama ANG KC-135 is due to arrive tomorrow and a German C-160D. Of course this is not all for tomorrow there is more.

Cheers,
Eric

Nice to know! Do you have an ETA? Or do you know if they are going to depart in the morning? I'll post a small log from today later this evening! Also I have some pics!

Thx in advance!

Yes sure, the best place is the beginning of the runway 26. There you have very good photo spots on the taxitrack and on the runway.
But be carefully.

Cheers,
Eric

Why be carefully?
Can you be send away or even worser?

[Eric van Lisdonk]

The local police don't like if you take pictures with infra on it. So alway's take a second card with you for your camera.

I have not a ETD for the fighters. Maybe Oscar can see it in the system???

I've seen about 3 or 4 fighters from my house. 3 at least!

[Oscar01]

2 FT + 2 SP A-10s left and were seen on landing at Spang.

4 FTs still on the ground, probably not departing today.

Hi Oscar and all,

I think the 2 FT A-10 were the Trend53/54 (78-0679/FT, 79-0192/FT)
Did somebody has a callsign for the 2 SP A-10's??

Are the 2 SP F-16D's also departed today and with which callsign??

Cheers,
Eric

[Oscar01]

Don't think again, or rely on SBS..... just do only confirmation on actual reading....

Two A-10s that were seen at Spangdahlem today were:
78-0679/FT
79-0138/FT

For the rest some C-17s were seen at Spang, including a CAF one.

Regards,
Oscar

or mention your source is Mode S/SBS. Because this system is still not reliable in aviation!
